Hunter Biden Defiantly Refuses to Apologize for Epstein Smear Against Melania. "F--- that..."

August 15, 2025 - Hunter Biden has rejected demands to retract or apologize for his false claim that Jeffrey Epstein introduced First Lady Melania Trump to President Trump, escalating the dispute by challenging them to clarify their Epstein ties in a deposition.

In a new Channel 5 video released Thursday, Biden stated, "F--- that. That's not gonna happen. I also think they're bullies, and they think that a billion dollars is going to scare me." He added, "If they want to sit down for a deposition and clarify the nature of the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein – if the president, the first lady, want to do that, and all of the known associates around them at the time of whatever time that they met – I'm more than happy to provide them the platform to be able to do it."

This follows Melania Trump's August 6 letter threatening a $1 billion defamation suit unless Biden withdraws his "false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory" remarks from an earlier interview, where he alleged, "Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep." President Trump supports the lawsuit, offering his lawyers and affirming Epstein played no role in their meeting.

In reality, President Trump and Melania met at a 1998 New York Fashion Week party hosted by modeling agent Paolo Zampolli. Trump spotted Melania Knauss and requested her number. She initially declined, giving him her friend's contact instead, but he tracked her down through her modeling agency. In an interview Melania noted, "He was very determined". It took time and his consistent effort before she accepted his invitation to dinner, marking the start of their relationship which lead to their marriage in 2005, and son Barron in 2006.

Biden's refusal aligns with his pattern of provocative statements. In a July 2025 podcast, he ranted against George Clooney and Obama allies as "f—king elites" for pushing his father's 2024 exit, called Trump deportations a "f—ing crime," and falsely claimed white men commit 45 times more violent crimes than immigrants. His memoir and laptop detailed crack-induced paranoia and exaggerated intelligence boasts.
